Jeff Van Gundy will coach USA Basketball’s roster of non-NBA professionals who will try to qualify for the World Cup in 2019.

Van Gundy spent 11 years as an NBA head coach, having last coached back in 2006-07 with Houston. He has since been working as a TV analyst for ESPN. The roster JVG will coach will be compromised primarily of Development League and overseas American players. Once Team USA qualifies, Gregg Popovich will take over coaching the senior national team in the 2019 World Cup in China. Tue, Jun 27, 2017 11:17:00 AM

With JVG out of the picture, the coaching searches out there should move along. It's not surprising based on some of his comments during his broadcasts and he's likely going to stay in his current post for the foreseeable future. Wed, May 18, 2016 02:51:00 PM

The Rockets are interested in Jeff Van Gundy for their vacant head coach position, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports.

Interim head coach J.B. Bickerstaff would seem to be out of the running as the Rockets will also interview Warriors assistant Luke Walton. We'll keep an eye on the situation in Houston, but as Wojnarowki said, the Rockets are "big game hunting." Thu, Apr 28, 2016 09:11:00 AM

When asked about his interest in the vacant Lakers coaching job, Jeff Van Gundy declined to provide an answer.

Van Gundy could have simply refused interest, but instead kept the window of opportunity open. Still, it's hard to envision JVG eventually winding up with the Lakers since Los Angeles is unlikely to give him what he desires—full organizational control—with Mitch Kupchak and Jim Buss calling the shots in L.A. At least we've got a new storyline to follow this offseason. Mon, Apr 25, 2016 09:14:00 AM
